- Hello good people
-
- Have anyone out there used C on a mainframe and discovered as I have that
- the trigraphs are not exactly as specified in the ANSI standard.
-
- Any ideas, pointers and whatelse are appriciated.
-
- 1) No, the manuals do not say anything about this.(At least the manuals I
- have )
- 2) Codepage is EBCDIC278 (MVS)
-
- I have ensured that the hex values translated from ascii to ebcdic have
- had the proper values so that the problem is not a emulator problem.
- Also I've tried with the trigraphs as they are shown.
-
- p.s
- Never, ever start coding C on the mainframe it is a great PAIN
- Crummy filesystem, primitive graphics, no MIDI or even sound.
- But it is a quite stable beast. I'll give it that.
- d.s
